The paper extends the literature on the determinants of capital structure by incorporating inflation uncertainty. By pooling data from the 30 Dow Jones industrial firms for 20 years and by using alternative model assumptions, namely, random effects vs. fixed effects and semilog vs. linear functional form, we find that inflation uncertainty exerts a strong negative effect on a firm" s debt-toequity ratio.
